Susan Brooks, who next month will be starting her third term in the U.S. House representing the 5th District of Indiana, has been elected to another leadership position. Earlier this month, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., tabbed Brooks to chair the House Ethics Committee. She was also named Ryan's representative on the GOP Steering Committee that oversees committee assignments. This week, Brooks, a Republican, and Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., were elected co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues. “The Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues is an important, bipartisan forum to discuss major policy issues of our day with a focus on how these issues impact women and families,” Brooks said of her election in a press release. “In the past, this caucus has been a driving force for a strong Violence Against Women Act and for the Children’s Health Insurance Program.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
